The answers to what most artists ask before they buy.

Smooth Saturation 2.0 is priced at $350. You can split it into up to 4 installments with Klarna, where available.
Yes. Our goal is to spread as much knowledge as possible and build an army of elite artists around the world, so we made the commitment to absorb the taxes ourselves.
You only pay the course price, and in many countries you can still deduct it as a professional expense on your tax return.
Yes, and it always will be. When you buy the 2.0 update, the 1.0 version is included too, totaling more than 4.5 hours of content.
If you prefer, you can still buy the 1.0 version on its own for the promotional price of $150 to access the core ideas of the technique. Then, if you enjoy it and want to upgrade later, you will receive a coupon to upgrade by paying the remaining $200.

Basically, it means respecting the artist's time. 🧘🏼
Our goal is to build an army of elite artists, so we will not overwhelm you with hours of filler where mentors tell long stories or speak slowly just to burn time and then justify the price with "this course has 5 hours" or something like that.
If you have watched our courses, you will notice there are no "umm" or "ahh" moments. Those sounds and idle pauses are cut. Every time we wipe the ink off the tattoo, we cut that part out, so you only see what actually matters to learn.
We also assume everyone already knows how to wipe ink and apply butter, so we avoid spending course time on those clips as much as possible.
That is it: respect your time, without compromising on knowledge.
Yes. Download the Teachable app, available on the Google Play Store and the App Store.
Then log in with the same email you used to buy the course on InkMentors, and you can watch the lessons on your phone or iPad, anywhere, whenever you want.
